"Having been raised on DC Comics and the Super Friends vs. Legion of Doom, it's exciting to tell a whole 'Robot Chicken' story within this awesome universe," Green said in a statement. DC Comics characters have been included in previous installments of "Robot Chicken."

Comic scribe and DC Entertainment's Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns worked with Green and Senreich on the new special. Green will direct the 22-minute special, which he wrote along with Senreich, Johns, Wells, Meyer, Douglas Goldstein, Tom Root, Mike Fasolo, Matthew Beans and Kevin Shinick.
